Bam. What do you chaps think about this? worth the pretty penny for it?
I'm always a fan of the Montecristo line. Never too bad and always consistent. and fantastic p only real disappointment i've had was the Sublimes 08 (which i'll revisit ONE day ) and any #2 under 3 YO. how do you mates feel about the D though? (i've never really had one either)

think $40 isn't too bad. i'm also working on getting a few Montecristo Robusto Anniversarios for around 50% more. so should i just save up and get more of those Anni Robustos instead of these Ds?? it's a real montecristo week!!

Hi Jeremy, I think the reviews listed on thast page sum it it. I enjoyed one 14/08/07, gave it 87pts, inc 9/10 for value (mind you it was ?11 then). Described in my notes as " Decent Monte, wee bit expensive but aged well. Extra Flav Monte, nice presentation.

I had a box of these but moved them on as they were unbalanced to me. That was c a couple of years ago so they might have come round since then.

Nb - I got the box uk retail at about ?125 from JJF on an offer a couple of years ago. There were loads of these about a few years ago.

Always possible they have come round and I made a mistake.

I had one last Saturday and age hadn't improved them any. Fairly mehhh tbh. Save your cash and get Monte PE instead

Have prices really changed so much in less than a decade? P.s. I will steal clear of these now, was eyeing them as I like a Maduro and I like a Monte...... Guess you can't always put 2 and 2 together?

They were on offer as (I guess) a lot of stock around in the UK. Almost half original retail (?200ish for box of 10).

Haven't tried one since '09 ...pretty disastrous effort from Montecristo. IMHO the Maduro wrapper completely overwhelms the finer aspects of the Monte marca... ?25 to retry? not a chance!

[butternutsquashpie]

damn simon...... guess you're the only one that enjoyed them eh?

and most others haven't had em in a while. maybe i'll just pick up 2, toss up a review, pen it down in my notes, and just forget about them forever.
we'll see how mitch responds to some of my questions about others i'm going for.

Well yes I did but I wouldn't pay ?25 for another, ?15 sure. It would be interesting to see how they have aged after all. Have to agree with the Scottish one, maduros & Monte's are not a natural match.

now i'm just genuinely curious to see how it tastes. like most disasters, i'm curious to how bad it is and what ended it all......

but ah well. Gars can't ship to Canada anyways so i guess that's a lost dream

[PeeJay]

Friends can post to Canada though personally I would leave maduros to the NCs

Really? I thought is was just the USA they didn't ship too.
